Profile:

Perhaps the prime example in Indian cricket of talent going astray, L Sivaramakrishnan's career touched great heights, seemed set to reach dizzy heights but within a couple of years, he was shockingly all washed up. A superb spell of 7 for 28 on his Ranji Trophy debut against Delhi in 1981-82 brought the slim, wiry leg spinner into national prominence. When not yet 17, he was a member of the Indian team that went to Pakistan in 1982-83. At 17 years, 118 days he became the youngest Indian Test player against West Indies at Antigua later that season. He was not yet 19 when he won a Test match for India with a bag of 12 wickets for 181 runs against England at Bombay in 1984-85. By the end of the series he had 23 wickets and was adjudged man of the series. The icing on the cake came when he was chosen as a member of the Indian one day squad that won the World Championship of Cricket in Australia in 1985. Siva played a leading part in that triumph.

The happy episode in Siva's career ends here. The rest is nothing short of a short, swift tragedy. He played one Test in Sri Lanka in 1985 and did little of note. He was an even bigger disappointment in Australia a few months later. The magic was gone and the little bowler, who seemed set to break all kinds of records, was but a shadow of what he had been a bare 12 months before. He made a brief comeback as a member of the 1987 World Cup squad but he was not a success. In desperation, he tried to make it back as an all rounder for his batting by the late eighties had improved, enough to make him a key member of the Tamil Nadu team that won the Ranji Trophy in 1987-88 after 33 years. But soon he lost his place in the State side and despite reports in the 90s that the `boy wizard' was still on the comeback trail, it turned out to be a road that led nowhere but to sudden obscurity - in direct contrast to the sudden fame that Siva enjoyed for a short while.(Partab Ramchand)
